Liu Bowen organized the people to withdraw from Zhanwang City. Suddenly, he heard that the soldiers came forward to deliver the order, and the people stopped. When they heard that they did not have to leave the city, they all cried with joy and cheered for joy.
Suddenly.
People all over the city suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
The sound reaches the sky and shakes the whole world.
See the situation.
The Emperor of Chu, Longyan Dayue, can gain the love and trust of the people. This battle with Shi Tian is already half won. With the people in the city as his backing, there is no need to worry that the army cannot be invincible.
Although Zhanwang City is one of the important cities in Taixu, it has experienced wars for a long time and the people are in dire straits. From the Zhao Feiyan sisters, we can see that the lives of ordinary people are extremely poor.
Looking at the land of Chu, there has never been a time when there were still people who were hungry.
The Academy of Sciences promoted the latest planting methods, and coupled with the increase in the variety of grains in Chu State, ordinary people lived a prosperous life, with every household having grains in stock, and their days were now well off.
It cannot be compared with the major cities of Chang'an, Luoyang, Huxiao, and Sakura. There are countless wealthy businessmen, and their lives are so extravagant that they have reached the point where they don't close their homes at night and don't pick up things on the road.
When he saw the people of Zhanwang City moving their families, Emperor Chu felt heartbroken and regretted his decision to let the people leave Zhanwang City. This move only showed his incompetence.
It made the people feel that the Chu army could not protect their safety. Thanks to him, he realized that he had gone astray and withdrew the imperial edict. Otherwise, he would have pushed the Chu army into the abyss with his own hands.
It’s horrifying to think about it!
The Emperor of Chu turned around and returned to the General's Mansion, where he met Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang. They both raised their fists and saluted, saying that the Emperor of Chu was an eternal sage.
"Kong Ming, Zifang, you two should stop complimenting me. You knew that my behavior was inappropriate, but you didn't warn me in time. I want to know your sins."
"Wei Chen is terrified!"
"Wei Chen is terrified!"
"Okay, come with me to the meeting hall, and we will discuss how to fight against the Sky-Devouring Army!"
Emperor Devouring Heaven has iron-armored divine generals and black-armored soldiers, so there is no doubt that he chose to take the initiative to fight. Although Emperor Chu has already sent Tianmen to Taichu City, he must still deploy first before the matter is resolved, so as not to be caught off guard.
At noon, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the cold wind was blowing gently. Emperor Chu appeared outside Zhanwang City with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, and Li Jing.
With Zhuge Liang's strategy, he can set up the Bagua Fire Formation outside the city, imitate the Fire Formation on Aurora City, and destroy the armored generals brought by the Heaven-Devouring Emperor.
The Emperor of Chu and his generals believed that Kong Ming's plan was feasible, so they transported all the thunder, oil, and gunpowder in the city to the outside of the city and handed them over to Zhuge Liang for deployment.
Preparations for the war were in full swing, and suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the city. Everyone looked back following the sound, their eyes fixed on the person coming.
Emperor Chu could tell at a glance that the man was affiliated with the secret guard. He arrived in such a hurry. He must have something important to report. Otherwise, the secret guard would usually send messages by flying pigeons and rarely come in person.
Huh~
The visitor reined up his horse, jumped off his horse, held his sword in his hand, and came quickly, saying: "Your Majesty, the secret guard has sent a secret message."
Emperor Chu took the report from the secret guard in front of him with both hands raised, looked puzzled, and unfolded the report to look at it.
"The three kingdoms of Divine Beast, Yunhuan, and Hill have once again increased their troops and are stationed in the cities of the Heaven-Eating Land. What is the purpose of this move? Is it to force the two armies of Wu and Chu into a desperate situation?"
The Emperor of Chu came all the way to Zhanwang City, crossing the Land of Devouring Heaven. The people in the cities had already fled. There was no one in the city, and the walls were broken. The Chu army was moving quickly without dividing its troops. However, he did not expect that the Three Kingdoms of Divine Beasts would be here.
At that time, heavy troops were sent to guard the cities.
This move directly caused the Chu army to go deep alone and be surrounded by them. This was to put pressure on the Chu army in terms of momentum and break down the morale and psychological defense of the army.
With a slight frown on his eyebrows and a solemn look on his face, Emperor Chu turned sideways and handed the report to Zhang Liang, and said: "The Three Kingdoms of Divine Beasts have sent heavy troops here, and they are simply asking for death."
"If they want to push Wu Chu's army into a desperate situation, aren't they worried that Wu Chu's army will turn around and point directly at them?"
Zhang Liang handed the report to Zhuge Liang, with a calm expression on his face, without any sense of nervousness, and said: "Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms of Divine Beasts are trying to make a fuss. It's just a bluff. The purpose of the Heaven-Eating Emperor is just to cheer them up. The real confrontation is with them."
The decisive battle between the Devourers."
"In a decisive victory, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter. The soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms will only run away with their heads in their arms, looking for opportunities to escape. A pile of scattered sand is not enough to cause trouble."
"That's right, Zifang's words are reasonable. If the generals of the Three Kingdoms who pretend to be powerful like a fox really dare to meet Chu Fengmang, they may not realize that they are leading troops stationed in various cities, but instead they will surround us with a large army."
Zhuge Liang agreed with Zhang Liang's words, and also believed that the decisive battle with the Heaven-Devouring Empire was the ultimate battle of this expedition. Once defeated, all the countries that were eyeing him would disperse in droves.
Although Emperor Chu and the two of them were not worried about the arrival of the troops from the Three Kingdoms, they still felt pressure invisibly. Under such a situation, the Chu army could only win a complete victory.
If defeated, the consequences will be that a pack of wolves will attack them and eat them. The Chu army will really become the target of public criticism, including the Longtang army far outside Xuantian City. They will defeat Yue Fei and others at all costs and march in with their troops.
, go straight to Chang'an.
One battle will determine victory or defeat, and one battle will determine the outcome. The Chu army cannot afford to lose.
"Your Majesty, the three kingdoms of mythical beasts have turned against each other before the war, leaving our army in a dangerous situation. Now they are adding insult to injury again. I am requesting a small minister to lead a cavalry and kill them all."
Li Cunxiao handed over his fists and asked for his tassel. Emperor Chu's eyes showed a smile and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Cunxiao, how many troops and horses I will give you, you can defeat the enemy armies of the Three Kingdoms."
The Emperor of Chu knew that Li Cunxiao was a peerless general. In history, he only led eighteen cavalry to conquer the Xijing Chang'an in Yongliang, a city with thick walls and strong walls. He captured eight villages in the day and three passes in the night.
At that time, when there were so many powerful generals, great heroes, and great heroes competing against each other, Li Cunxiao was already an unparalleled existence. Many talented and talented generals lamented that they were born at the wrong time, and even Wang Yanzhang, who was constantly picking on thirty-six generals with his shadow gun,
, Facing Li Cunxiao, he had no victory, and even lamented that "if you have Cunxiao, you will not show off your reputation."
"Your Majesty, 10,000 Qingqi are enough. Yan Zhang and Da Yan will go with the last general. The last general will not only be able to repel the enemy armies of the three countries, but also be able to capture at least the imperial city of one country."
Li Cunxiao's sonorous voice sounded, and his lofty words made Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Li Jing smack their tongues, but Emperor Chu and Bai Qi were not surprised at all.
"Ten thousand Qingqi will sweep across a country for me. I am a filial piety and this is my ambition. How can I refuse?"
"Now that the war is approaching, I should have left my beloved to take charge of my sole responsibility. Since your beloved has volunteered, I have agreed!"
"Ten thousand Qingqi, Cunxiao personally selected from the army. The eighteen Yanyun cavalry and the Yulin army I brought will go with you."
The reason why the Chu Emperor agreed to Li Cunxiao was to see if he could create a myth again and defeat the enemy armies of the Three Kingdoms with ten thousand light cavalry.
"I will thank my emperor for his kindness. I will definitely fulfill my mission by going here. I will not defeat the Three Kingdoms and will never return!"
Emperor Chu thought that sometimes you have to believe in the strength of the generals around you and give them more opportunities. As the saying goes, if you give it a try, your bicycle will become a motorcycle; if you take a gamble, your motorcycle will become a jeep.
Emperor Chu believed in Li Cunxiao's fighting prowess so much that he decided to let him fight. His troops galloped into the battlefield and never returned, stained with blood for thousands of miles. (To be continued)
